Murph,
The fans that I am considering in the links are ones that sit on top of the receiver and help suck out more hot air than can naturally flow out. The Onkyo 805 doesn't have any cooling fans so it shouldn't be a problem just adding one, two, or three external fans. The fans that I was looking at in the links have thermostats that measure the air temperature and kick on when the receiver gets hot enough. So, installation is just a matter of setting the fans on top of the receiver and plugging them into an outlet, just like in the picture on the ebay link. It's just that these fans seem a bit expensive. I was wondering if anyone has seen this same type of fan setup cheaper somewhere else? As you suggested I want the fans to be quiet. How many of these fans would be sufficient (without being overkill) for the receiver?
